INTRODUCTION

Welcome to our third book of Sonny Terry style Riffs.

This book is another further attempt to delve into the style of Sonny Terry. We’ve selected riffswe like, slowed them down, tried to catch the essence of his playing, notated them, and thenwe play each riff at three different speeds so you can learn it more easily.

Sonny Terry has been a major influence on so many other players. My first teacher, PaulLamb, spent twelve years studying and performing in Sonny’s style with the result that he hasspent the last thirty-some years whoopin' and hollerin' in clubs in his native north-east andlater in London after he moved there. As well as in concert and festival stages, creating apersonal synthesis of his harmonica heroes and his own unique and innate talent. Paul’shistory includes representing Britain in the World Harmonica Championships, working with hisparticular mentor, Sonny Terry and with any number of other blues artists who've visited theseshores.

I was also captivated by Sonny’s playing when I first came across him in the 80s, and I’vebeen trying to get close to his style ever since. It was Paul Lamb who told me about Sonnyand I’m very grateful to them both!

These riffs are similar to those found in Sonny’s playing in general and have been slightlysimplified to help you play more like him. The harps you will need for this CD/book are G, A,Bb, and C.

As before I should remind you to listen to the man himself and you will hopefully recognise allthe riffs you will learn from this book.

We’ve tried to get the feel of Sonny’s playing but haven’t tried to get every detail down. If youwant to zoom in further get in touch with Joe Filisko and he’ll help you out.

Paul is playing guitar on this album to accompany the riffs (and drums) and by altering yourbalance control you’ll see how to make the harmonica more or less prominent depending onyour preferred mix.

If you enjoy this CD/book there are two other Sonny style books in our series that you mightlike. Once we started the research it was hard to stop! The more I look into Sonny’s style themore I see so we just kept going and ended up with enough riffs to start a fourth book -however we’ll stop at three. Probably.

Enjoy working through this and please give us feedback - tell us what you think of it!

Ben and Paul July 2010.

Ben uses Hohner Marine Band harmonicas customised by Richard Sleigh of the Joe Filiskoguild: www.rsleigh.com, and Hohner Marine Band Deluxe customised by Jon Vaughan atcustomharps.co.uk. Many thanks to these experts for keeping us in tune and with the correct‘just’ intonation.

Paul uses Hofner & Fender guitars, AER amplification and Line6 and Native Instrumentseffects.

Ben Hewlett became a musician at the age of ten in 1969 learning thetrumpet. He went through the school system of exams and performances,finally escaping the mandatory classical repertoire with the discovery ofLouis Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie. He was a minor third addict at fourteen and still has a passion for jazz and blues. Godfather DennisCorble gave Ben a harmonica at the age of 7 thus unknowingly sowing the seeds of a lifelong love of this instrument!

Paul is a composer/arranger, multi-instrumentalist and teacher. He is aformer pupil of Bishop Wordsworth School, Salisbury and former memberand leader of the Wiltshire Youth and Salisbury Junior Orchestras on violin.He also played in rock and folk bands in the Salisbury areas from the ageof 15 onwards and later graduated from Trinity College of Music, London inviolin, piano and composition (1976-80).
